THE FEEL
The Skinker DeBalievere neighborhood offers a wide selection of housing, from literal mansions along Lindell to affordable apartments for students and young families. Regardless of size, many of the buildings here feature the artistic details of a bygone era: exquisitely detailed millwork, artistic stained glass, and large fireplace mantles with bookcases.
Close to Washington University in St. Louis, this area has true mix of ages and income levels. Both the Loop and Forest Park are a short walk away, and yet the neighborhood enjoys a certain peace and quiet as if it were remote.
